Life is a journey filled with twists and turns, often presenting us with unexpected challenges and obstacles. As Christians, our compass through this journey is faith—the unwavering trust in God's wisdom and plan for our lives. When faced with trials, it's imperative to lean on our faith, seeking God's guidance and strength to navigate the stormy seas. By entrusting our concerns to Him, we can find peace in knowing that God's plan is greater than any hurdle we face. This belief in him propels us forward, encouraging us to embrace a life characterized by trust and obedience.
The reality is, this is all easier said and or read than done, right? It’s okay, I understand, this is a safe space. The truth is, sometimes we do get the rug pulled out from under us and the cold hard floor feels unpleasant. Maybe you lost your job, that car of yours keeps giving you trouble, there’s conflict in your relationship, the kids are acting out, the bills are piling, that doctor’s report didn’t bring good news, etc. Believe it or not, these are even more reasons why embracing faith as a journey is also essential.
We as believers, need to remember that walking in faith is not a one-time event; it’s a lifelong expedition. True faith is tested in adversity. When faced with trials, we can rely on God to endure and find hope. It's an opportunity to grow stronger, holding steadfast to the belief that God has a purpose even in our struggles. Through faith, we find comfort, resilience, and a deeper understanding of God's love and grace.
Our faith becomes a beacon of hope, illuminating our path and helping us persevere, even when the way ahead seems uncertain. Through prayer, reflection on His Word, and cultivating a deeper relationship with Him, we can confidently walk this journey of life, rooted in Christ, and his promises to be with us every step of the way.
Always remember that genuine faith is very precious to the Lord. When you overcome tests you grow spiritually, which causes joy in Heaven, and should encourage you to rejoice, too.
“Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm,
for God can be trusted to keep his promise.”
Hebrews 10:23
